from Yelp.com “I’m funny shaped. Okay, not really that funny shaped but, enough that typical, off the shelf American Style dress shirts don’t fit me real well so nearly a half dozen years ago, while living in Paris, I discovered Thomas Pink dress shirts. Taller collars, longer sleeves and tails and a slimmer cut overall to accommodate my somewhat a-typical shape. I tooled myself up with a dozen or so of these fantastic shirts and was happy as a [tall, thin] clam. That was when the Euro was at parity with the dollar and the pound exchange rate wasn’t as brutal as it has been recently….needless to say, when the time came to replace my aging fleet of shirts, I began exploring my options.

I tried other brands that were somewhat less pricey and was unhappy with the fit and finish then I found Nicolas Joseph one day while out walking my dogs and then was reminded by Thrillist or Daily Candy or one of those to give it a go.

They took the best attributes of my beloved Thomas Pink shirts and, hard to believe, improved upon them! And for slightly less on a per-shirt basis. I now am slowly replacing all my aged dress shirts with Nicolas Joseph shirts and absolutely LOVE THEM.

The price is right, compared to high end dress shirts that are not custom and the materials available are top notch. I’m going to dip my toe further into the custom-clothing pond and treat myself to a sport coat, very soon….and if that goes well, a suit is sure to follow.

Oh. And the staff is very cool, professional and doesn’t make the guy that can’t throw down for ten new shirts at a crack feel like a pauper….which is important to me. I like nice things, I can’t always afford to buy a lot of said nice things but, none-the-less…

Try it, you’ll like it.”
